Guest guest Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Along these lines, I do recall reading that if you are going to eat non-organic fruits/vegetables, it is recommended to wash them (in some ratio small and I don't recall) in Clorox! When I heard this, I thought this is CRAZY. Chalked that statement up to this persons side of definitely being too out there healthy nutritionally speaking. But wonder now if there is something to this. Comments?

You'll be surprised to discover that it's actually an essential mineral that has worked wonders, despite the USFDA scaring everyone off it by labelling it as rat poison.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Kari, years ago, my Nutritionist urged me to wash my non-organic veggies in a sink of water with, say, a teaspoon of bleach and to leave them there for at least 10 minutes. When I mentioned this to a friend recently, she pointed out that we already have so much chlorine in our drinking water here that it probably isn't necessary. (She may have a point). And I admit that chemistry is not one of my fortes but I do believe the bleach breaks down into benign elements in short order so you aren't ingesting any (besides I rinse well anyway). boric acid and borax > > > > Boric acid (aka rat poison)can only really be used for > > a vaginal/rectal yeast infection as it is poisonous, I > > wouldn't suggest swallowing it Orally I took > > It's unfortunate that some people think so; take a look at a > www.google.com search using the words borax and arthritis or > osteoporosis for example.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Just for your information Clorox is bleach, its one brand name. http://www.clorox.com/science/rmp/how.html Bruce ----- Original Message ----- From: " Penny " > Kari, years ago, my Nutritionist urged me to wash my non-organic veggies in > a sink of water with, say, a teaspoon of bleach and to leave them there for > at least 10 minutes. > > When I mentioned this to a friend recently, she pointed out that we already > have so much chlorine in our drinking water here that it probably isn't > necessary.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Hi Duncan, I am only familiar with Boric Acid used as a non-toxic roach killer. The Boric Acid crystals cause cuts in the legs and bodies of the insects and cause them to dehydrate. As I am completely new to all of this, do you have more information on how to, how much to take and what kinds of responses you are likely to get? Thanks for all of your information. boric acid and borax > Boric acid (aka rat poison)can only really be used for > a vaginal/rectal yeast infection as it is poisonous, I > wouldn't suggest swallowing it Orally I took It's unfortunate that some people think so; take a look at a www.google.com search using the words borax and arthritis or osteoporosis for example.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 Bleach?!!! That can't be any good at all apart from the fact I have MCS, I use grapefruit seed extract for any non-organic fruit.
